7 Fun & Intimate Ways to Celebrate Romance Awareness Month

Did you know August is Romance Awareness Month? It’s the perfect excuse (not that you need one) to slow down, turn up the love, and reconnect with your favorite person. Between the daily hustle, never-ending to-do lists, and the occasional “What should we do tonight?” shrug, romance can sometimes slip through the cracks. But it doesn’t take grand gestures to keep the spark alive. It just takes a little intention, creativity, and heart.

Whether you’re newly in love or decades deep, we’ve got 7 fun and intimate ways to celebrate Romance Awareness Month that’ll make your partner smile and your heart feel full. From unexpected flower deliveries to screen-free date nights, let’s turn up the romance all month long.

1. Start with a Surprise Flower Delivery

Nothing says “I’m thinking of you” like an unexpected bouquet showing up at their door (or desk). Starting Romance Awareness Month with a surprise flower delivery is a simple gesture that goes a long way.

Choose their favorite blooms or go classic with long-stemmed red roses. Not sure what to pick? Try a mixed arrangement with romantic tones, such as blush pinks, soft whites, and vibrant reds. Want to go deeper? Include a handwritten note that says something personal, even if it’s just, “Just because I love you.”

You don’t need a special occasion to send flowers - this is the occasion. Romance Awareness Month is your moment to break routine and show them you care in a way that feels thoughtful and spontaneous.

2. Plan a Weekly Romance Ritual

Romance doesn't always need candles and grand gestures. It just needs consistency. One of the sweetest ways to celebrate Romance Awareness Month is by creating a weekly ritual that’s all about the two of you.

Pick one day each week to do something intentional together. It could be a handwritten note tucked into a lunch bag on Monday, a midweek walk and talk at sunset, or a Friday night homemade pizza date. The key is showing up for each other in simple, meaningful ways that say, “You matter to me.”

3. Recreate Your First Date or Favorite Memory

Remember that fluttery feeling from your first date? The nervous laughter, the butterflies, the way time seemed to pause? Why not bring it all back this month by recreating that special moment or another favorite memory you've shared?

You don’t need to go out and spend a fortune. Cook the same meal you had that night. Wear something similar. Put on the playlist you were listening to back then. If it was a picnic in the park, grab a blanket and some snacks and relive it in your backyard or living room.

Want to make it even more magical? Add the flowers you had on that day or the ones they wore in their hair, held in their hands, or admired in the restaurant. Flowers have a way of awakening memories and emotions in the most beautiful way.

4. Have a Screen-Free Date Night

Phones are great, but they can also be total romance killers. This month, choose one night to unplug completely and give each other your full, undivided attention. No scrolling, no notifications, no distractions; just the two of you, fully present.

Play a board game, cook together, build a pillow fort, or even try your hand at arranging flowers side by side. Creating something together, especially without screens, can spark connection in ways a Netflix binge just can’t. Keep it cozy, light some candles, and let the conversation flow.

5. Give the Gift of Words

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can give is what’s already in your heart. This Romance Awareness Month, take a moment to put your feelings into words. You can write a love letter, a poem, or even just a list of reasons why you’re grateful for your partner. It doesn’t have to be fancy; it just has to be real.

Want to level it up? Pair your words with a single stem or mini bouquet. A simple note wrapped around a fresh rose or sunflower can become a keepsake they’ll treasure long after the petals fade.

6. Surprise Them with a Romantic "Just Because" Gift

Romantic gestures don’t need a reason. That’s what makes them unforgettable. This month, surprise your partner with a small, meaningful gift that says, “I thought of you.” It could be a handmade playlist, a framed photo of a favorite moment, or a cozy night-in kit complete with candles, snacks, and fresh flowers.

Add a floral touch to make it extra special. A flower crown, a tiny bud vase by their bedside, or even petals sprinkled across their pillow can turn an ordinary day into something magical. Thoughtfulness is the real gift; flowers just help say it beautifully.

7. End the Month with a Romantic Getaway (or Cozy Stay-in Retreat)

Wrap up Romance Awareness Month with something unforgettable, like a dreamy weekend getaway or a cozy retreat right at home. If travel’s in the cards, plan a scenic escape to the mountains, beach, or a charming bed-and-breakfast. But if you’d rather stay in, transform your space into a sanctuary of calm and connection.

Think soft lighting, calming music, your favorite comfort foods, and of course, fresh flowers. Scatter petals in the bath, set a bouquet by the bed, or create a floral centerpiece for a special dinner. Whether you’re out exploring or curled up on the couch, the goal is simple: be present, be together, and end the month feeling more connected than ever.

A Beautiful Opportunity

Romance Awareness Month is more than just a sweet idea. It’s a beautiful opportunity to slow down, show up, and intentionally nurture your relationship. Whether it’s a surprise bouquet, a handwritten note, or a quiet night without screens, the smallest gestures often leave the biggest imprint.

And remember, flowers don’t have to wait for anniversaries or apologies. They can be a daily reminder that love is alive, growing, and worth celebrating, this month and every month.
